What Do You Wear to a Witch Wedding?Okay, so it wasn't really a wedding; it was one of those ceremonies where people say their wedding vows again. It's not something I'd ever do, as I think the vows Jerry and I took at the London, Ontario courthouse are still in effect even after 16 years, but some people find it important at a certain point in their lives. The thing is, we thought we were just going to a 40th birthday party on their acreage, as did the other 100 or so people attending. There was no sign of the birthday girl when we arrived (an hour late due to the Deerfoot being closed on account of a fatal collision), nor of the other Marthas (that group with whom I regularly get away on Womenly Weekends). But there were these unknown folks milling about, all dressed in purple. Witches, apparently, the Airdrie coven. And some of them were boy-witches too. I'm told that the term warlock is derogatory (who knew?), so I'll stick with boy-witches.Now I knew that Bev had been getting into spiritualism recently, but apparently she's now a full-fledged witch. So they did the wedding vow thing as a Wican ceremony. Strange but oddly fitting. And Eva wrote on the autographed picture frame which everyone signed:

"The spleen is the new liver"

They'll never figure that one out.

And Sandramade a boob-print in the birthday cake while carrying it out. She wore a chocolate cake badge on her left boob all evening.

I thought the boy-witch couple holding hands and snuggling in front of the bonfire were adorable, as did Eva, but Jerry and his manly fishing buddies did a lot of giggling and rib-elbowing.

Back to a second week of full time work tomorrow, but at least our home computer is back from the hospital. Yayyy!

Yep, it was sort of a Witch's wedding! It was actually a Celtic ceremony. I loved it and I guess that is what matters. The basis of it was the movie Braveheart...but it also had a lot to do with a group I belong to called Spira. Yes, a Pagan group and yes, I am a Witch...full fledged! But, not to confuse you, but I am Pagan not Wiccan. I'll explain it next time I see ya.

Boy witches, yep they too are just Witches. Warlock, that is a bad thing. Again, to be explained in the future. So, just calling them Witches is good.

Explain the "The spleen is the new liver"...still trying to figure that one out! hehehe

I loved the Sandra boob print, it made it just that much more personal! lol

I heard about the boy holding hands and the fishing boys giggling! lol Funny how they giggled at the gay men, but yet nothing has been said about the lesbians that were there!!! Hummm, makes me wonder where these boys heads are! Boys will be boys! lol

So there....I did giggle big time about the whole post, so no, I didn't find any of this offensive! Just don't do it again! lol

Well, thank you. I think the ceremony was certainly a surprise to a lot of people. I do think some of them may have been a little....hummm....what's the word, scared by it! haha But, none the less, if they didn't like it, that's ok too. I am sure it opened a few people's eyes and hey, we didn't even sacrifice anything!! I was thinking that would have been a good twist, but hey, the dagger was probably all anyone could handle!

Eva, what to say about Eva! She is about the smartest, and perhaps the coolest kid I know! Yep, you may have birthed her, but I do believe a lot of you has rubbed off on her!

I love your blog girl! What a hoot! I'm on livejournal...I guess that's a blog of some sort. It's like my own personal diary for everyone to see! YIKES! I'll send you the link so that you can read up on my wrong doings too!

Hi just checking out blogs and thought I stopped and read yours since we have some of the same interests and ideas. Some of the ideas are a little much and some are right on the money. I am glad I stopped by just to say hi. I hope you don't mind. Some people consider it spam but if you don't want people to post why do they leave it open for the world to see. I have some great wedding information and articles available for free around 2000 savings ideas so stop on in if you want... I also have some of the most informative sites on yoga and baby gifts and baby showers. Hope you enjoy Thank you for your time.american wedding invitations
